CITY OF SAN LEANDRO STAFF REPORT DATE: June 21, 2010 TO: Stephen L. Hollister, City FROM: Uche Udemezue, Director Engineering & Transports BY: Keith R. Cooke, Principal Engineering & Transports SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION: APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL ,~~~~ Stephen L. Hollister City Manager MATTER OF AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO THE PROPOSED ALAMEDA COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION (ACTC) JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT (JPA) AND APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE ALAMEDA COUNTY CONGESTION MANAGEMENT AGENCY (CMA) AGREEMENT FOR CMA BOARD REPRESENTATION RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute the necessary agreements to enter the City of San Leandro into the Joint Powers Agreement creating the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC), approve amendments to the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) for the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (CMA) for CMA Board representation, and appoint two members of the Council to serve as Representative and Alternate members to the new ACTC Board SUMMARY Staff recommends approval of the JPA creating the ACTC and the necessary amendments to the existing CMA JPA for Board representation. The CMA and the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (ACTIA) have embarked on a number of new initiatives to more cost- effectively plan and deliver transportation programs and increase transportation funding in Alameda County. The first initiative proposes a merger of the two agencies into one known as the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC). While both organizations function well as separate entities, the respective Boards believe that the proposed combined agency will provide a more efficient and cost-effective platform over the long term to the residents of Alameda County upon which to plan and deliver transportation programs and capital projects.
